Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - This is truly lovely stuff - beautifully silky, layered juice with oodles of old vine sap and loads of subtle, gentle nuance and character. I can see why these wines don't get the big scores - this does lack a bit of density and concentration. Even though I always prefer elegance over power (when I can't have both), I think that ideally this could use a hair more punch, and probably a bit more length as well. But this is a wine to put the charm back into Charmes - the polar opposite of Roty - and a wine with the kind of heart and soul that is difficult to find in an era that prioritizes technical perfection. It is not a style for everyone - but I love it.
